I know that I start alot of maps, and I finish a very small percentage of them.
For those of you who don't understand the poll and/or ratios, the number on the left of the : is the number of maps started in comparison to the number on the right, which is the number of maps finished.

All maps start with ideas, but I abandon more ideas than I start. If you don't include ideas, it is still about 5

About four to one, I guess. As in finish, do you mean releasing it or just finishing it?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Vindexus on 2004-07-31 at 00:00:20
I mean finishing it to the point where it is playable and there aren't any major bugs. Doesn't matter if you hosted it on bnet or put it in the dldatabase.

Mine stays the same. I usually get alot of bugs in my maps, but I can't fix them with a broken computer, so I have others test here!

Well... I still haven't finished one yet. I have a motivation problem, and I always get excited about a new idea, and drop my current map. Constantly. Oh well, I guess I'll finish a map one of these days...

I always lead myself to try something new. Is that how all you guys give up on maps, by getting bored? Cause lord knows I sure do.

I have a few RPG maps unfinished. As per usual, I made them specifically with friends in mind, so theyre small maps, and never too complicated. But I usually get sidetracked and eventually stop work. I have a couple that go back two years ago.

I finish my maps like on 7:1.
I don't finish them all because of time and I can't stand mapping for 3 or 4 hours staright, I just get bored.
I like mapping but I can't map that much.
Usually I have something else to do, I forget the map and when I remember I was making a map, I forgot what was I suppose to do in the map.
Or it just turns out so buggy, that I just quit because in the de-buggin process more bugs are bound to show up and it's just too much.
That's why my daggerfall rpg imma keep simple as posible in triggering and not 2 complex.

I don't start many maps, and I plan out those I do start relatively well, but more often than not I'm forced to give up. I said 3:1.

I really never finish a map.. I start one, then get another idea, and just scrap my first idea thinking my second idea is better...

I voted 21-25:1 finishing maps is hard but if you take the time to finish it's good one way to do it is pace yourself nicely.

Jesus! 21-25:1? Get motivated, man! I don't think I've ever had that many ideas for maps, let alone attempted to make that many.

Well I just lose interest after working on the map for 8 hours in the dark. I wake up the next morning and I go this is dumb....

I voted 6-10:1. When I get a idea I keep to it for awhile then after having to repeat something over and over and making terrain just gets boring. I usually make something to test how well a idea works and if it sucks scrapped! Even if its good they end up sitting in my Unfinshed Maps Folder for god knows how long Oo
